What you should know:

1. The doppler procedure doesn’t involve any tissue cutting or removal. Instead, Dr. Luka uses a self-absorbing suture to tie off the artery causing painful hemorrhoid symptoms.

2. Patients typically return to work or resume normal activities within a week of having the doppler procedure.

3. THD is an alternative to internal hemorrhoid treatment methods such as rubber band ligation, stapling or hemorrhoidectomy.
